to I'Ki.. ernTOK -jk irn: Kir,—Tiie article on the church in South Canterbury mtere'-ted use. Not lea;," ago I saw it lor the lust. time. It is one of the moat interesting buildmgs in New Zealand. Close up it j look., like an old Devonshire church, but mile or two away the retro- ' pr.pfivc view is that of a veritable i day of judgment on the hill, with no village clustering about it as the Devon churches have, to give them a mundane interest. , In tli: South Canterbury cnurch the windows —dedicated to the piosaaa women of those part:? seemed t.o mo lo be of that same ;;risail)e glass v. hieh the window of the live sisters i now a memorial to fallen nurses ol : ;I a■ war) in York Minster is made ol'. i Perhaps vou wouid g,ivc some parlici.t----i tars of the glass in the church, not of course ma.de from New /a aland ; materials as the rest of the church is.— "•/ours, etc., AN ADMIRER OF TUN SPIRIT 'THAT DUILT IT. ; June 'Jo, 1935.
